OVER-filed nails | Nail Tech Who Helped Me to Believe in Myself 

Wow, interesting. Thanks for sharing

Same in US. I started doing my own nails for cute designs when I was a teen. As an adult I tried salons bcuz it’s easier to have someone do ur nails for you. They messed up my nail beds after I recovered from being a nail biter, it was the last time I went to anybody.

Are they asian? That's the problem we have in the West Coast side of the States.

Same here in New England. The salons I’ve been to know nothing of the word apex or over-filing. It’s really sad. And that’s why I do my own nails. I also love Russian style nails which are unpopular here in the states. Thank you Anastasia. ❤️

@@quitetidy Yea most of the shops are.Nail chop shops.But that is not to say that all Asian owned salons are bad, it just seems as if the majority are.They are so cheap to get acrylics at $30-40 a set that alot of people don't care about the safety or sanitary issues at most of these chop shops.

Aww it’s lovely when that happens. 😊👍

I'm sure your nails are beautiful 😊

I don’t understand why salons suck so much and don’t do as good as you do on your own nails

I learned a lot from Tatyana as well! Love her and her work! So beautiful

@@missjoasia123 I think part of the reason why it's easier to do your own nails is because you can feel what you're doing to yourself, and if you're hurting yourself. whereas someone else can't

Until I started watching nail techs on youtube I thought it was supposed to hurt after and I had acrylics for years. I always planned new set appointments around not having to do anything after because my nails would throb after

@@feyfolken1655 that's not necessarily the issue most of them care about money and since time=money they rush through the process and make dangerous mistakes

Thank you ! 😘 happy holidays 🎄

Did she was hurting you? What did you say to her? I'm guessing that you didn't know that it's not supposed to feel pain in a nail salon. Maybe she confused the fingernail with the nail on the wall! I'm sorry for what you have been through!

I am so sorry you had to experience that!! It sounds horrible and I hope you healed well. Your story makes me very weary of nail salons, and made me realize how lucky I've been with my nail tech. She is the one and only I ever went to, but unfortunately I had to stop going due to growing expenses. Now I'm trying to do my nails myself, and you remind me to be VERY careful with the e-file. I overfiled once already and my nails became super sensitive to hot and cold water.

Honestly, these kinds of stories and my own experience of having my nail bed over-filed as well have made me wanna learn how to do it myself. Hence why I’m watching this vid.😂 I’m sorry that happened to you. I hope you can still enjoy doing your own nails, at least.

Thanks a lot!!! Right now I have over filed nails 😥

@@avril6922 I’m sorry that happened to your nails. In case you didn’t know, depending on your body, they will be grown out in about 4-6 months. That’s from the cuticle to the free edge. As fast as time goes if you take care of them, you will have healthy nails before you know it! Merry Christmas 🍪

That's why I was always thinking why file the nail plate and then use primer? Why not one of those?

@@krakusanna18 I was a nail tech a long time ago and I just started using gel on my own nails s few months ago. You know how they all say use a medium coarse file to the nail so it will stick? Not! I have been using a fine buffer a primer and I can hardly get my gel off! No lifting no problem. There’s no need to be so harsh to your nail but that’s just my opinion. And I still believe that acrylic is the very best option for nails. This gel is easier to do on myself but it’s not nearly strong enough . It wears down so easily that my nails can’t even reach the length I want in twice the time! Good luck to you with your nails! The good news is no matter what we do to our hair or nails, they always grow back! (With a few major exceptions.) merry Christmas !🎄

@@krakusanna18 my belief is that the filing should be only to be certain that all the surface oils as well as through a few layers is oil free. I know you wipe with an antiseptic or cleanser but you dont spend long doing it just a quick wipe. And the primer is somehow formulated with the other products to adhere to your nail. It likely also changed the ph on the nail. I’m not a chemist but I’m sure there is a chemical bonding that the primer does. Now with acrylics way back in the 80’s and part of the 90’s before bond aid came out, the acid primers would actually chemically burn a rough surface into the layers of your nail( microscopically) so that the product would stick. That’s was not such a problem if done properly, because you shouldn’t have to go over the area again. But like all things, now there is a less invasive and damaging way to do it. But keep in mind. No matter how damaged your hair or nails get, the out growth is always perfectly healthy and if you want to just start over, you can. The living part of the nail is in the cuticle area so if you slam your finger in a car door right on that area you could cause permanent damage to that nail. However, if you slam the same nail in the door but the damage is to the nail plate, it will eventually grow out healthy and be fine. Hope I didn’t bore you. Merry Christmas!🎄

@s I would say about 5 days to a week.It was especially painful everytime I came in contact with water that was just remotely warm. When I went into the shower or a bath I almost hit the roof, and when I had to wash my hands it had to be with cold water and even that was brutal. 😖😫😩 Yup never made that mistake again,was definitely a big lesson 😆 mistake

@s @s aww u poor girl,I share ur pain. I wish I had some miracle solution but I don't. Use a good cuticle oil on the whole nail or aloe Vera serum if you have one and apply it often,at least 3-4 times a day to speed up the healing process.Avoid exposure to water especially warm or hot and for the pain to use over the counter pain meds. No lie I took Ibuprofen 800 mg 2-3 times a day and still it didn't help much because if I touched anything or something came in contact with my nails I just wanted to scream. But everyone is different, yours might just heal faster than mine and it depends on how overfiled they are,mine were pretty bad.But if you apply an oil a few times a day you should be good to go shortly! Sorry I couldn't help more,good luck with everything and I wish you a great vacation

It's March 2002 as I post this. I've learned SO MUCH from your channel, especially how to avoid mistakes. Unfortunately I've had to make so many before I found you! I have fat sidewalls like you. Lol. Anyway my heart aches for you and all the Russian people who may feel great frustration at the current state of events in the world. God Bless.

@Spotteddog Same.. overfiled my own nails and they got super sensitive and red. I felt really stupid for not leaving it to the professional, but everything is so expensive these days that I really want to be able to do my own nails. How is it going with yours?

Thank you ! 😘

I did the same with my nails. My dream is to have Anastasia do my nails. Everything she does looks so great and perfect 😍

Too bad, I’m a nail tech and I tell my clients to come back about 3 weeks or so since their nails growing out kinda slow. I care about their nails more than the money. I always try to remove the gel as gentle as possible and don’t use the buffer after removing gel, only use before applying new gel because I don’t want to overfile their nails

Happy to help!

Thank you ! 😘

Thank you! 😃
